Me: oh this probably isn't THAT hard, I could do it Me after watching this: oh nvm 🙃

Great video! Was a car stereo installer back in the late 90's-early2000's. I'll be Installing a JVC KWM750BT in my 07 CRV next week. Will be my first installation since then, can't wait... This was great refresher. Thanks

Thanks! The first 3 minutes of video saved me so much time and kept me from damaging the finish trying to get the various dash parts disassembled. It came apart exactly as shown. Excellent information and perfectly explained. Thanks again.

Do you need all of that extra stuff that he had to install it or can you just install it using just the CarPlay ?

@@JACOBGalan I’m sorry, I only focused on the dash disassembly. I had a different new stereo so I didn’t focus on the rest. But I did have to purchase the stereo’s bezel dash plastics to replace the original. I bought 3 harnesses: connector to the car’s harness, connector to the stereo and a connector for the antenna. I still need to install the backup camera, which looks to be more effort than the stereo’s installation.

You provided the most thorough information anyone could ask for. Im so greatful for your professionalism. Looking forward to giving this set up to my daughter as a graduation gift. Her 09 CRV will have a up to date infotainment system that she will love.

Thanks for clearly showing the steps in the video! I was able to install the unit in my 09 CRV!

Thanks for the vid, did a nice clean install of a kenwood in mine.

Nice video. Appreciate all the detail.

Hey, just making sure so I can purchase everything and do it over spring break: I have a 2011 CRV. If I go for the exact same parts as you did, with the Crux one as exception, do you think it'll work? Thank you kindly Small edit: Is there any other radio you'd recommend besides the dual one? Just to see if there's more options. Thanks

Excellent video. I followed it and got my new radio all installed. Last thing I need to do is replace the power socket with the dual USB like you have. I cannot get the power socket out. Any advice?

Hey great video, had some of the best insight to how to connect a the stereo, made me really want to tackle this on my 2009 ex model. Even bought myself a solder kit to achieve my hopes of this car mod. But since I’m new to this, I’m trying my hardest to understand how you wired the rca cable connection to the aux inputs left, right and ground. Just for clarification, did you solder the left rca to the left aux, then solder the rca right to the right aux input, and then did the rca you have in the video have a 3rd ground cable that you soldered to the ground from the factory harness. Or did you solder all 3 cables from the factory harness to the rca cable because that’s what it looked like and sounded like you said in the video. Please reply back I’m just guy with a crv that’s trying to prove that anyone can work on there car if they just try hard enough and do the right research. Thank you 🙏.

Do you know which factory harness usually contains video signal for factory reverse camera? can't find any in youtube. Usually new reverse camera also like you other video.

I have 2011 crv with subwoofer w/o nav. The 18g remote turn on wire you added to pin 16 is my question. IT is spliced into the blue / white wire. Is this also where the antenna wire adapter is spliced?

hello, excellent tutorial!!! very clear instructions. question! i didn’t buy the PAC SWC. do you know which color wires are the SWC on the factory harness? i plan to posi-tap them (not cut, mortal sin!) to the KEY1/2 on my cheap amazon carplay stereo harness. thanks in advance, happy holidays bud!!!!

Hi, I am planning to connect the missing wires from the back of the steering wheel connector to the back of the radio. Do you happen to know the color wires or the place of the wires in the connector behind the dteering wheel? There is a connector where the audio control and cruise control connect through the clock spring. Thanks

Great job thanks lot!!

I picked up an '07 today and I had to put in the radio code when I did, it turned on but all I could get is static from the radio side and when I push XM it'll give sound for about a split second and then static again off and on. I can hear the CD changer make noises. Do you think this one is on the fritz? I'd like to keep the factory radio in it. I hope to look into it more tomorrow, weather permitting.

Well explained😇

My 2010 CR-V has a USB in the upper glove box, can that be wired into the new radio?

Great Video! I have plans to do this but Every time I replace the battery is asking me for a number code on the actual radio. I'm going to be able to put the code on the new one? Thanks in advance!

Do you have a video on how to manually wire a harness or a recommend one?

How did you remove the 12v outlet near 14:36? Did you have to brute force it out or what? I cannot find a way to release it from the front of console. BTW, this was great video. THANKS!

I see you tapped into pin 16 for the amp turn on but I believe you didn’t tap into the factory subwoofer positive, negative, and shield on the other harness?

Good video. Smooth cheat though when you removed the AC vents. Not quite so easy to release those vents with pry tool. Just saying you need to place fingers BETWEEN the metal frame & the rear of the vent housing. Then PULL it straight forward towards you to pop it free.

Looks like you’re missing some test variables. You didn’t test Bluetooth or the steering wheel controls before putting the radio back in the dash, also how did you connect those wires for the steering wheel into that little harness? Do they have to be soldered in or something else?

Can someone help me with the pac setting, I have an Amazon system do I choose android radio? The walk through with that was first 4 on last 4 off and then the last one off on the small end, is this standard?

I suspect you've already done your install Billy, but I'll leave this comment for others. The standard radio and cd player put in this generation of Honda CR-Vs was able to interface with iPhones, but only up to about iOS version 3 or 4 I think. Behind the lower mounting bar for the radio, there is a conversion unit. One plug is the white one which connects to the radio, the other goes to the USB plug in the compartment above the glove box. This unit allows the radio to control apple music for these earlier versions of iPhones. You can buy an adapter to fit it, but what I did was remove the module from the dash, remove the USB female plug for my new radio and remove the adapter plug to the converter. I verified the wires (my colors were: Red - 5V+, Black - Ground, Brown - Data+, Purple - Data-; If unsure you should pinout the wires). Then I soldered them together and shrink wrapped the individual strands and the whole bundle. I have a 12V air compressor, so replacing the power plug down there didn't make sense to me. The power factor is leagues for a standard 12V outlet is just leagues above. (USB max - 2.5 watts, Outlet - 12V * 10 amps = 120 watts)

Do u do radio intalls ? i have a 08 honda crv

For 2010 crv with Navi/factory amp and sub, would I have to tap the blue remote wire into the red wire like your video, or do you recommend any harness kit that’s always plug and play? Also if a pioneer unit has a pink speed wire, would you I connect that on this year CRV? Thanks 🙏

@ProvoBeastAudio

Today, if your software is updated on your pioneer, you may not need to connect your VSS pink wire. VSS helps with location and speed accuracy with your navigation. If not, i'd look up forums where to identify your CRV's VSS wire location.

Was listening to radio and it went to HF-LINK with a phone icon. Will not allow me to do anything with radio but, adjust volume. Disconnected battery and it still comes up HF-LINK. It did finally, after two days, prompt me for code and I put that in and it worked. Then next time in car it went back to HF-LINK. I don't have hands free options on steering wheel and have never set up a bluetooth to work with my car.
